Weather from a different source

ChrisEW

I currently use the openweathermap function to display the weather on my mirror.

Just wondering if there are other apps that might work, providing (I guess) that an appid is available? I would like to display the info from a weatherunderground link.

Can I do that?

The hottest new weather module that uses weatherUnderground is
https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-NOAA

And here you can find other modules that might interest you.

@Mykle1 Can’t seem to get this running. Copied the code and dropped it in. config:check is telling me there is a problem with the last line with { } issues. But the coding is straightforward as far as I can see with only one set of nested { and }symbols. What gives?

Well, there is a missing comma after showHum: true in the config example but that doesn’t seem to be the only issue. I contacted the author and made him aware of it. I’m sure he’ll fix it ASAP. That is, after he finishes the work that pays his bills.

I know he made some significant upgrades just yesterday. He probably missed something when pushing it to the repo.

@Mykle1 I added the comma and it doesn’t crash anymore, but nothing shows up on the mirror either. Maybe because I already have another module in top_right ?

Run your mirror ‘npm start dev’ and see what errors there are in the developer window.

PS I fixed the example on github to include the comma

@cowboysdude I see the split window but am not familiar that level of troubleshooting. So I can’t really tell what’s happening. All other modules work just fine, but MMM-NOAA is a no show.
I have an API key, have selected the specific weather station ID relevant to me, and other than adding that comma, the .js file is virgin.

@ChrisEW

Post your config entry for NOAA here (in a code block) and leave the weather station ID in so I can test that as well
